President - Samantha Li has been climbing for over 10 years and competed for 8 years on the Calgary Climbing Centres Pro team, including multiple Bouldering World Cups. She is best know for her high heel hooks and negative ape index. This T-Rex enjoys outdoor Bouldering, cycling for leg strength and car camping.
​Vice President - Sara Bradley was introduced to trad climbing while living and working in the White Mountains of northern New Hampshire during her late 20s and early 30s. Sara loves the combination of the peacefulness of the outdoors and having to be focused on the climb. Sara is a graduate engineer from the University of Waterloo and has operated a structural engineering design business based in Peterborough, Ontario since 2003. In 2018 she made the bold and exciting decision to move herself and her business to Whitehorse. She is excited to be back in an environment where there is a community of climbers not only getting out to climb, but involved in their community and promoting the sport to the youth. On the board she expects to be heavily involved in the ongoing efforts to bring a climbing facility to Whitehorse and to support Association President, Samantha Li. Climb On!

After graduating, he headed down to Vancouver to complete his training, acquiring a degree on the side, before finally finding his way back home to help and eventuality coach the youth team. When he's not coaching, he can be found trying to dyno every move of every climb of every crag in Whitehorse.

Director - Charles Kalinsky was inspired by climbing at a young age when visiting his older cousins living close to Red River Gorge Kentucky. He was drawn to the problem solving, camaraderie, physicality and pure adventure found in climbing. Over the years he has grown into the sport trying bouldering, trad, sport, ice and alpine climbing. He has volunteered in the Yukon climbing community for the last four years: top rope nights, trail maintenance, and crag clean-ups. His favorite place to climb in Yukon is Paint Mountain!
